re-election

HENDERSON COUNTY—Henderson County Judge Wade McKinney has chosen not to seek re-election. In a letter dated June 20, McKinney states that, “When I started with the county in 1994 I was a road hand filling potholes in Precinct 2. I never set out to hold office. I just wanted to chase cows and bale hay. Commissioner Harold Hammer talked me into coming to work for the county for a year and one year turned into 32.”
